Despite my efforts to keep mine and my daughter’s stray long hairs from going down the drains in our house, it obviously happens still happens sometimes. My husband forbids me to use Drano because I guess it corrodes the pipes. Pretty good reason so I listen to him. Plus, this recipe to unclog a drain works better than anything I have ever tried. Give it a try the next time your sink starts to back up and let us know what you think!
All you need is:
Boiling hot water
½ cup to 1 cup baking soda
1 cup vinegar
All you do is:
Pour baking soda into drain (around the drain area)
Mix 1 cup vinegar in with about 8 ounces boiling water
Pour vinegar/water mixture down drain
This will force the baking soda down the drain
Note, if it looks like a science experiment you are doing it right
Let that sit for about 15 minutes
Pour one large pot full of boiling water down the drain to finish the task of flushing it all out
That’s it!
